MALE’, Maldives; July 17, 2011– Mega Maldives Airlines is proud to announce the successful first flight from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Male’ International Airport (MLE) on the 16th of July 2011.

The flight landed into Male’ at 12:50 pm on Saturday carrying 200 passengers from Shanghai to the Maldives non-stop, the only such service currently available to arrive in the Maldives during day-time. The schedule allows for more convenient connections to resorts by domestic air transfers, seaplane and boat, not to mention allowing another sunset and dinner in the Maldives to arriving tourists thus giving a boost to the local tourism industry.

New professions for Maldivians have been introduced and business opportunities made possible to Maldivian entrepreneurs with the opening of Chinese markets to the Maldives. For example, Mega Maldives Airlines now carries Maldivian cargo on every flight from Male' to Hong Kong non-stop, saving time for perishable cargo, and money for the traders.
